800 size heli bag?

[trillian]

As the title suggests, I am on the lookout for an 800 size heli bag. But... crazy as it might sound, I'd like to find something affordable as well. I have seen a couple heli bag companies making an 800 size bag but one is in Germany and is really expensive and the other is more affordable but it's in the USA so shipping and VAT would be prohibitive.

I saw a big aeroplane wing bag today from Hobbyking and although it's not long enough by itself it's so cheap that it would be a possible option if the small end was cut open and a smaller wing bag attached to extend it.

Next stop will be to look at things like snowboard bags.

Goblin 770 bag will fit a trekker 800. I bwleive the canopy has to come off and its a little tight.

Thanks Chris, the Goblin bag is nice and the price is good but it may not be quite long or tall enough. The heli I'm getting is 154cm long and 49cm tall. I don't know how much shorter it is with the canopy off so that may make enough difference.

--- Actually, I just saw some dimensions and it's darn close. I had seen 140cm length but apparently that is the opening, the full outside length is 148, which, if stretched slightly might just accomodate 154cm. And the way to top zips it will allow the taller part of the heli to just stick out, which is no big deal.

I had bags made by this company for my Raptor E820, E720 stretched to 760 and Align 600. Very good quality, about £100 for the biggest one. I picked them up so no postage costs.
I am not sure if they are still doing them as i had heard that the person who was into heli's and made the bags had left. But it may be worth a call.......

Those look really good. I have sent through an email to ask about the heli bags.

It kinda looks like Cocoon bags has gone AWOL. I didn't get a reply to my email, tried to phone and got no answer. The Facebook page last post was in 2014. It's a shame because all their stuff looks quite nice.
